A MUST read!

This was the first book of his I ever read and I feel in love with it. The book is concise but powerful. He explores the 8 beatitudes and how humility is rooted in each one. He uses a ton of Scripture and then provides connections and clear explanations for his thoughts. He is a fabulous author and I have now read several more of his books and keep looking for more. I bought this book for my roommate, all of the girls in my college Bible Study, and many of my family members. Everyone who has read it so far has LOVED it and immediately told me how much they learned from it and the new perspective it gave them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Jerry Bridges is an excellent author. :)
